Huo Yao helped him turn off the phone and explained. "He's going back to the capital today."
Huo Jinyan blinked. "You are back so soon? A few days ago, he told me it wouldn't be that fast. "
A few days ago?
Huo Yao glanced at her father. "You two seem to be on good terms now."
Huo Jinyan smiled. "We are neighbors, so it's only right to build a good relationship. Moreover, I think Min is a good person."
Huo Yulin had just come downstairs when he overheard his father praising Min Yu. He instinctively frowned.
He had bought his father's heart with just an invitation to the art exhibition. What a bastard!
At this time, his younger sister's voice sounded again.
"... Yeah, it's pretty good." Huo Yao nodded in agreement.
Huo Yulin glanced at his little sister. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words in the end. Instead, he glanced at the book in her hands. Zhuang Zi's choice was written on the cover.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He walked over and sat down beside her. "Why are you interested in classical Chinese?"
Huo Yao waved the book in front of Huo Yulin and said, "My language teacher arranged for it. It will help me improve my grades."
However, in order to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he really needed to make up for the language.
Huo Yulin was surprised to hear this. "Chinese? Are you biased towards other subjects? "
Huo Yao nodded and added. "It's very serious."
When she said this, there was a deep helplessness in her eyes.
She already had a recommendation from Tsing University, so the college entrance examination did not mean much to her. However, for the sake of Principal Yu and No.1 Middle School's reputation, she felt that she had to work hard.
Huo Yulin's expression turned complicated when he saw this.
She was seriously biased in a particular subject, yet she was able to easily get first place in the whole grade … Was his little sister trying to discourage him?
"Do you need to study Mandarin?" asked Huo Yulin after a while.
Huo Yao had already flipped open her book again. She replied vaguely, "Yeah, I should read more extracurricular books."
Huo Yulin nodded. "I understand."
After that, he took out his phone.
He had probably already thought of what he should give his sister in return.
Two seconds later, Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at Huo Yulin strangely. What did he mean by that?
**
The next morning, Huo Yao finally understood what Huo Yulin meant by 'I understand'.
There was a huge box of extracurricular reading collections, including domestic and foreign masterpieces and prose poems, short stories by famous people, and ancient poetry collections that high school students must memorize.
As long as it was a high school textbook, he would probably have gathered all of them. He estimated that there were fifty to sixty of them? Or even more?
Huo Yao stared at the huge box of books and felt her scalp go numb and her head ache.
Huo Yulin did not expect Uncle Changfeng to find all the books in one night and deliver them to the house. He looked at his little sister, who was standing by the box in a daze, and patted her head. "Little Sis?"
Huo Yao raised her head to look at Huo Yulin. She found it hard to breathe. "Did you... buy these?"
Huo Yulin nodded. He did not take a good look at his little sister's expression. Instead, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Just take this as a small gift from me."
Those who loved to learn naturally loved to read books. Giving books was the most appropriate gift.
A small gift... Huo Yao pressed her forehead. Last time, he had given her three boxes of test papers. Now, he had given her a box of reading materials. It seemed like Huo Tingrui's misleading words were deeply implanted in Huo Yulin's mind.
Huo Yao inhaled deeply and made a mental note of Huo Yulin.
